K’Andre Miller’s third career goal was hardly the difference-maker in the Rangers’ 8-3 victory over the host Flyers on Thursday night. It made the score 6-0 early in the second period.
It was a cherry-on-top type of goal for the team and the 21-year-old rookie defenseman. Miller sent the puck in the general direction of the net from a step inside the blue line and was probably as surprised as anyone when it ticked in off indecisive Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, who couldn’t decide whether to try and block the long shot.
It was that kind of night for the Flyers, who have lost their last two meetings with the Rangers by a combined score of 17-3.
